Another of the ‘McCarthy Eight’ Gets a Primary Challenge

“Jack Smith (R), a former Yavapai County supervisor, has filed paperwork to challenge Arizona’s freshman Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) for Congress in the state’s 2nd congressional district,” the Arizona Republic reports.

“The news comes amid media reports that allies of the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Kevin McCarthy have been seeking a candidate to challenge Crane and other Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy from the party’s top House leadership post.”
